 Frederick Douglass does not believe that the Republican party's mission is ended In letter to friend in Albany he says: have come home as I left home, firmly believing in the future of our country and of the col- ored race and the Republican party. have no more patience now than heretofore with those that teach the colored citizen to believe that the occupation of the Republican party is ended; that there is now no difference be- tween the two great parties; that the colored man has no more to hope from the one than from the other, and that now we should throw principles to the wind and go just where we can get the largest share of the spells. The black man was matched into freedom and political life in the Republican
 nest and under Republican wings, and it is 8
 foul bird that will soil his own nest or de-
 spise the wings that have sheltered and
 warmed him into life. I fear we shall have to wait good while before the Democratic party, with it's antecedents, it's war record, it's dependence upon the Solid South, shall make itself acceptable to any considerable number of colored voters. I would rather be with the party of freedom and progress in defeat than with the party of the Glenn bill in victory

PROGR ESS OF A GREAT REFORM.
 These are queer days, politically. Here is the New York Times printing long list of offensive partisans who were present at the Pennsylvania Democratic convention. It says that if @ space had been set apart for them they would have occupied an area of seats nearly as large as that reserved for the Phila- delphia delegation. About forty or fifty of them were about, and most of them, owing their appointments to Mr. Randall, were vig- orously arguing for the adoption of plat form to suit him. J. V. Cracroft, an em- ploye of the Mint at Philadelphia, was del egate from Allegheny by substitution, and sat with the Allegheny men. He was on 8 vacation, but declared he would have been there any way to work for Randall. Among others present were: Thomas Cavanagh, chief engineer of the postofice at Philadel- phia; ''Al'' Fletcher, chief clerk of the Bu- reau of Construction and Repairs in the Navy department, a powerful partisan of Randall's in the third ward of Philadelphia; E. J. Bigler, collector of internal revenue at Pittsburg; Daniel o. Barr, surveyor of the port of Pittsburg; Captain George R. Guss, oleomargarine inspector Of the internal reve- nue office, Philadelphia; John Brady, gauge1
 in the internal revenue office, Philadelphia; Peter D. Glazier, jr., hull inspector of the custom house, Philadelphia; M. W. Loftus, postmaster at Moosic, Lackawanna county Thomas J. Ryan, special treasury agent Philadelphia; Jacob Fenimore, custom house Philadelphia; Walter Warner, Mint dele %ba oiv 1nhi The Times makes protest against this | business, and it is interesting to see it's pro. | test approved by the New York World. Int | World calls attention to the Presidents cele | brated "warning" to offceholders dated July | 4, 1886, in which was the following: The in huence of federal officeholders should not b. | felt in the manipulation of political primar, meetings and nominating conventions. Tn
 use by these officials of their positions t' compass their selection as delegates to politi 1 cal conventions is indecent and unfair, an(
 proper regard for the proprieties and require
 ments of official place will also prevent thei assuming the acsive conduct of politica campaigns. Individual interest and activit. | in political affairs are by no means con | demned. Oficeholders are neither disfran l chised nor forbidden the exercise of politica
 privileges; but their privileges are not en
 larged nor is their duty to party increased t pernicious activity by oficeholding.
 The World professes to believe that tn President will see the necessity of calling t'
 account the officials who have, in the Ian
 guage of the Times, thus emphasized thei
 attitude of ironic contempt for him and hi
 policy" And thus does 8 great refoIr
 progress.

pound, why should they have difficulties in procuring it in favor of cow-butter at one shilling per pounda Many industries, inclu- ding agriculture, have to suffer from the progress of invention. The crops of madder in Holland, France and Turkey have ceased to be grown because their dyeing principle has been made from coal tar. Our crops of indigo in India will in course of time share the same fate. We may retard such changes by legislation, but we cannot prevent them. Surely it does not add to the respect of Par liament by the people when we pass meas ures to restrain trade in an article which has added much to their domestic comfort Might we hope that the House of Lords would lessen the evil of kind of legislation which, think, is altogether mischievous, by striking out the word "margarine" from the bill and inserting the word "butter-substi- tute?"

Butterine, Margarine or OIeonarga
 r1mes

In letter to the London times on the 1ec- commendation of a Parliamentary select committee that the word "butterine" be used for an imitation of butter and the ulti- mate adoption by the House of the word margarine" Dr. Lyon Playfair says:
 would have preferred the name "butter- substitute" but the former word [butterineI fairly represents that meaning. Margarine" is scientific nonsense and practical absurdi- ty. Stearine and margarine are solid fats used to give solidity to candles, and do not resemble soft butter in any degree. If the scientific name had been desired it should have been ''oleomargarine. which is soft fat resembling butter. But why should the working classes be perplexed with scien- tifc nameg It would be correct in an act Of Parliament to describe water as 'protoxlde of hydrogen" but the people would not know that the familiar body-water-was | intended Butterine is a wholesome butter substitute made from the fat of the OK, as butter is made from the fat of the COW. It contains about ninety-fye per cent. of the
 same fatty materials as those in ordinary
 butter, and differs only by not containing the aromatic fatty acids which give to good | butter it's delicious flavor. But if the pool 1 choose to buy ox-butter at six pence pe'

Doing Away with Grade Crossings.

From the New York Trbune.l
 Whatever complaint may be made in Con-
 necticut over the grade crossings of the New
 York, New Haven and Hartford railroad,
 tour of the road in this State shows consid-
 erable progress in the work of abolishing
 them In Mount Vernon, the Sixth and
 Fourth avenue crossings both have gates for
 protection when trains are approaching and
 passing, but the plan is to sink the tracks be- low the grade of the street. The work of
 reducing the only grade-crossing in Pelham vile to an undergrade is nearly complete. At New Rochelle the old Boston post road is to be carried over the railroad, and the work is in rapid progress. At Mamaroneck the Weaver-street crossing has been carried over the road by means of bridge. Rockland avenue is being bridged and the work is nearly done Plans for carrying Grand Park avenue under the grade of the tracks have been filed with the highway commissioners, and when their consent is obtained work will begin at once. This is the situation at Nam aroneck avenue, where there are now gates. In Harrison the work of carrying West street, Featherbed lane and Harrison avenue over the tracks by Q bridge is making prog ress. At Rye Grade street has been discon- tinued as grade crossing, and work on
 new crossing under the tracks IS under way. North street is now being changed into an overhead crossing, and Locust avenue is be- ing made an undergrade crossing. Work to make Purchase avenue into an undergrade crossing is now in progress and gates are there at present. At Portchester Main street is to be carried under the railroad. The plan has been approved by the local authori- ties, but gates now protect the crossing. Westchester avenue is also to be carried un- der the tracks.
 State of New York which the New Haven company has abolished or is preparing to abolish aa fast as possible. There are two grade crossings in Portehester (at Adee street and Upper Main street) that the company in- tends to abandon as soon as feasible plans can be agreed upon. When this work is complete there will not be single crossing at grade in this State on the New Haven line.

MT. sturgeon on the Decay of Dissent.
 From Sword and Trowel.l
 "A new religion has been initiated, which is no more Christianity than chalk is cheese; and this religion, being destitute of moral honesty, palms itself off as the old faith with slight improvements, and on this plea usurps pulpits which were erected for gospel preaching. At the back of doctrinal false- hood comes a natural decline Of spiritual life, evidenced by taste for questionable amusements and weariness of devotional meetings Let us not hide from ourselves the fact that the Episcopal church is awake, and is full of zeal and force. Dissenting as we do most intensely from her ritualism, and especially abhorring her establishment by the State, we cannot but perceive that she grows and grows, among other reasons be- cause spiritual life is waning among certain dissenters. Where the gospel is fully and powerfully preached, with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven, our churches not only hold their own, but win converts; but when that which constitutes their strength is gone-we mean when the gospel is concealed and the life of prayer is slighted-the whole thing becomes a mere form and fiction. For this thing our heart is sore grieved."

Christopher Columbus is there, and he is a quiet, unambitious man.
 It is reported that petition is in circula- ton in Fairfield county asking Governor Lounsbury to call special legislative ses- sion on the grade crossing matter. Governor Lounsbury would probably not answer such a petition favorab1y, and public opinion would sustain him is such action. By the time the next legislature meets many of the most dangerous grade crossings will be done away with. All that is needed is the hearty cooperation of the towns with the railroad company.
 The Democratic papers do not all admire the Higgins business. The Chicago Times remarks: "Mr. Cowan, a prominent politi clan at Baltimore, has left the Democratic party because Eugene Higgins is so offensive ly active in it. Unless Mir. Higgins is re- moved great many other people are likely to follow MT. Cowan's example" The Mis- souri Republican is much more savage. "Hig- gins," it declares, is 'sonly pothouse politi- clan, representing pothouse ideas. If Secre- tary Fairchild sustains him every Mugwump

 A decision of importance to cooperative insurance companies has just been rendered. J. J. Albert, Louisville barber, had 5000 insurance against disability in the order of Chosen Friends. His hands became para lyzed so that he could no longer wield ra- zor. but his claim for the insurance money was denied, and he began suit to recover it. Judge Barr of the United States Circuit court decided the case against him on the ground that his disability was not such as to prevent him from earning 8 livelihood. It was in evidence that Albert had kept res- taurant and clerked in 8 store since he be- came incapacitated as barber.
 John F. Couray of Hartford wrote to O'Donovan Rossa urging him to s'try and do little more for total abstinence" Rossa prints the letter in the United 1rishman this week, and replies to it. He wishes every Irishman in the world was a temperance man, he says. He himself hasn't tasted liquor for eight or nine years past and he is l resolved never to touch it again until the last Rleam of hope for 'sthe cause" fickers and goes out. At the same time, remembering how they have been rooted out of their own l country, he is not surprised that such num- l bers of Irishmen are found in the saloon bus l mess here, he knows many of them are in 1t against their will, and he doesn't like to see them put "in an unequal and an uneven light with other sinners before the law"
